Grand Reopening Celebration of Watergarden
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 1, at 7 p.m., as the city rolls out the red carpet for the grand reopening of the Watergarden at 1901 N. Shoreline Blvd. This event isn’t just a ribbon-cutting ceremony; it’s a vibrant celebration of resilience and community spirit. Residents are invited to enjoy an evening filled with lively music, delightful food, and thrilling entertainment.
